Psalm 4:
6 Many, LORD, are asking, “Who will
bring us prosperity?”
Let the light of your face shine on
us.
7 Fill my heart with joy
when their grain and new wine
abound.
8 In peace I will lie down and sleep,
for you alone, LORD,
make me dwell in safety.

12. God’s blessing & refreshment
Isaiah 25
LORD, you are my God;
I will exalt you and praise your name,
for in perfect faithfulness
you have done wonderful things,
things planned long ago.
2 You have made the city a heap of
rubble,
the fortified town a ruin,
the foreigners’ stronghold a city no more;
it will never be rebuilt.
3 Therefore strong peoples will honor you;
cities of ruthless nations will revere
you.

13. God’s blessing & refreshment
4 You have been a refuge for the poor,
a refuge for the needy in their distress,
a shelter from the storm
and a shade from the heat.
For the breath of the ruthless
is like a storm driving against a wall
5 and like the heat of the desert.
You silence the uproar of foreigners;
as heat is reduced by the shadow of a
cloud,
so the song of the ruthless is stilled.

14. God’s blessing & refreshment
6 On this mountain the LORD Almighty will
prepare
a feast of rich food for all peoples,
a banquet of aged wine—
the best of meats and the finest of
wines.
7 On this mountain he will destroy
the shroud that enfolds all peoples,
the sheet that covers all nations;

15. God’s blessing & refreshment
8 he will swallow up death forever.
The Sovereign LORD will wipe away the
tears
from all faces;
he will remove his people’s disgrace
from all the earth.
The LORD has spoken.
